I had one of my developers call about a problem. When he was trying to edit any Lotuscript library or Lotuscript agent it would open the library but be blank and append the normal “stuff” at the top.

What we figured out was that it was creating a new library or agent not opening the old one. I was able to get around the problem by setting the preferences to not use Eclipse Lotuscript editor.
It puts everything on the screen at once. If you click a normal thing, like Declarations, it will show only Declarations. If you click on the name at the very top it shows everything again.
Actually, just now looking at it, if your Script Library contains a class, then that class no longer appears when you click Declarations. Instead it’s under everything else, and it’s expandable to show methods and members. Huh. Never noticed it missing from Declarations before. (shrug)
Anyway, try the above (click the name, click a function, click Declarations) and see if it doesn’t work as described. If so, I think it’s just different than before, but “working as designed”.
Thanks for the response but the issue was not one of being unfamiliar with the new interface (I had suspected that at first too) but one of an actual bug which prevented the developer from opening any pre-existing LS library while using the Eclipse editor. Problem, as far as I know, is still present but the developer has a new PC which does not present the problem.
